Good to hear you were able to recover it. As I mentioned earlier, when moving data from drive to drive, Copy/Paste is the best way to keep from possibly losing data. Once its copied and verified working on new drive, you can then safely delete the data source.

The only time I cut/paste aka move data is on the same drive basically changing folders.

I take it from your urgency that you cut/paste this data and did not copy/paste? I ALWAYS copy/paste so I can verify the files before removing the source due to my own data loss using cut/paste due to corruption(bad IDE cable).

However if you did just copy/paste you can try again.

I also found out the hard way that when you (accidentally)delete a file from a flash drive it does not go to the Recycle Bin, *poof* gone.
